Castledon Kennels Greyhound Rescue
“ Castledon Greyhound Rescue provides a sanctuary & re-homing service for Greyhounds in need in the UK. Greyhounds come to us as retired racers, as strays, and from owners who give up their dogs due to changing life circumstances such as: relocation, financial hardship, divorce, illness, or death.” LINK
Essex RGT
“A total of 228 homes were found for our greyhounds in 2007!
What an amazing figure considering we have only been running for a little over eighteen months. This has only been possible due to many peoples continued efforts and hard work, for example, standing out in the wet and cold at shows and at kennels.” LINK
Mildenhall RGT
“We rehome retired Greyhounds in Suffolk and Cambridgeshire. We joined the Retired Greyhound Trust in March 2003 and have a small holding kennel which enables us to rescue the more needy Greyhounds and prepare them for their future life. We also have greyhounds who are still being cared for by their owners or trainers, and altogether have a total of over 30 Greyhounds looking for homes.” LINK
Kerry Greyhound Connection
“Kerry Greyhound Connection was set up by Amanda Saunders Perkins in 2002 after realising the sad fate awaiting most of these dogs when they retired from racing. This includes destruction, abandonment or being shipped to Spain where they are kept in atrocious conditions and some raced with terrible injuries. Many are inhumanely killed, often by being hung from trees, or abandoned to die of starvation. Kerry Greyhound Connection is a small voluntary organisation based in County Kerry, Ireland and in Norfolk, England.” LINK
Mutts In Distress
Mutts in Distress is an animal shelter located at in Little Hallingbury on the Herts/Essex border. We rescue dogs from local pounds that would otherwise be destroyed, and offer them for rehoming.” LINK

“Founded in 1971 the Trust is now one of the top 10 animal rescue and re-homing charities in England, and runs 5 rescue & re-homing centres across the country. Our centres are located in Watford, Berkshire, Essex, Somerset and Cornwall. Our Watford centre is also the home of the Trust’s small headquarters operation, where the central support functions covering finance, fundraising, human resources and administration are based.” LINK
Poplar Farm Kennels
“David, Rachel and our team of volunteers ensure that the dogs are assessed, re-trained, nursed back to full health and finally re-homed. If they cannot find a suitable home then the dog will live out the rest of its days at Poplar Farm. We have a 100% “no kill” policy. Caring for these dogs is very demanding, both practically and financially and any help and offers of homes are always welcome.” LINK
Wood Green Animal Shelter
“Wood Green Animal Shelters is a registered charity that has been taking in and re-homing animals since 1924. The charity takes in over 5,000 animals a year and has set national standards in animal care.” LINK
